Not very familiar with reliance withBB plans.

Works perfect with bridge mode - i.e., the PC gets the IP.
MER/Dynamic - occasional problem in router getting IP. At such times, you can shift to bridge and you will get an IP on the PC instantly.

Not sure, since the IP belongs to the PC and not the router itself. In any case, there is not much we can do even if the window opens up, right?

Btw, the MAC ID of any device specifies what type of device it is.

To contradict this i'll be posting a step by step guide on how I have configured mine modem/router and maybe that can help you out also. For me its working like anything.

Thanks.

2.any case, there is not much we can do even if the window opens up, right?

1. The dynamic IP you type is yours of course. Invariably a window pops up,
asking for router userId PW.
2. you are right. if default ID/PW have been changed.
3. By (1) I got the full modem 450TCI settings pages
of a user in Unsecured WIFI mode !
( maybe now he has become wiser and secured the WIFI !! or not to be seen now )
4.
\ ipconfig /all the details we want.
For Tikona, they have used different Gateway and
customer Ip addresses. ( not usual 192.168.1.1 etc )

Good, will await your details - good for everyone if this solves the once-in-a-month problem with no IP.

case 1(when using external modem):With reliance broadband sharing can be done using wifi router. Give DHCP in the WAN connection. And enable NAT(Without this it will not work out).
In LAN setting put DHCP server and give start ip as 192.168.1.11 and end Ip as 192.168.1.20(based on number of users).
It will work out. I am using airtel modem(beetel) and sharing is perfectly working fine.
Once u need to login to the start page from any system on ur network then on every system on wifi net will work fine.

case 2with reliance modem and own wifi router):
if you have Zyxel modem then connect modem to pc and first give ip 192.168.1.10 on ur pc. The open 192.168.1.1 in internet explorer.It will ask for password default password is 1234 . But dont put that.Put any thing there for 3 times then put 1234 as password. The modem security gets cracks and it asks you to set your own password. Now router will open in admin mode and you can make changes.

Start in advanced mode -
1)in nETWORK->WAN connection instead of bridge mode put routing mode.
2)In enclapluation put ENETENCAP. put automatically assign ip option below and press apply button.
3)In NAT check Active network translation box with SUA feature only,In max NAT session per user put 256. Save configuration.
4) In LAN -> DHCP setup put DHCP server, Ippool starting address put 192.168.1.10 and in pool size put number of users u want.save this configuration.
5) now restart the modem. and the wire coming from your reliance modem plugin in your wifi router.
6) in your system put automatically assing ip and dsn .
7) now switch on both reliance modem and wifi router.
Reliance modem will assign ip to your network and you can use sharing on wifi.
Good luck enjoy i

I have a Relaince broadband, and i am trying to configure my linsys wireless modem.

Wen I plug in the DSL line into wireless modem and power it on, all the indicators except 'Internet' Light up.

I even tried using the modem on Ethernet , but i am not able to connect. Is this model compatible with Relaince, or am i doing something wrong.

Ideally i was hoping to see the Relaince login page when i connect the wireless modem through ethernet.

Kindly help.

Thanks

Linksys wifi modem is compatible. You need to configure the modem
After plugging in the reliance internet cable to the modem put ip 192.168.1.1 in your wireless connection on ur laptop.
In WAN and LAN settings of modem configure as per my previous post.

Enable NAT. Once the modem is configured then put automatically obtain ip in ur laptop. reliance login page will come.
let me know if u find any issue

I can not find the option for LAN and WAN in my Linksys homepage. Although, i was able to reach there.

I have attached screenshots. I would really appreciate if u could tell me step by step. Im not too much into configurations and stuff.

Thanks

See
You have to do configurations at two places.
1) Internet seup( Which is actually WAN)
2) Network setup( Which is actually LAN)

In Internet setup Put Encapsulation as ENET ENCAP( In this setting the option will come "Obtain ip address automatically").
Select obtain ip addess automatically.
Multiplexing is VC, VPI-0,VCI=35.

In Network setup select option DHCP server. I am not able to find NAT in the screen shot. YOU need to enable NAT. Once these settings are done then save the settings and restart the router.
In your laptop wifi connection now put obtain ip address automatically. It will get ip assigned by your linksys modem. Now when u open reliancebroadband.co.in then login page will come. if any confusion is there
then send me screenshots of all pages.

The problem is, Encapsulation is a drop down and it does not have the ENET ENCAP option. (check screenshot).

The NAT option is enabled ( under advanced routing tab) , for which i have a screen shot too.

see Find a option in dropdown where after selecting it option will come" Obtain IP Automatically".

And configure the LAN as i told in previous post. NAT you have already enabled so no issues there.
Any way reliance must have provided you a modem. Which company modem is that?
once you do configuration save configuration and restart. And wait for 10 mins.
For me this configuration is working fine.

The modem provided with reliance is some ZTE-ZXDSL 831 series modem.
After selecting the option which gives obtain IP automatically, what about subnet mask , DNS server and stuff ?

If automatically obtain option is there for them then its fine else leave them blank.
Once this setting is done configure your LAN also . You will find one extra light blinking on your mode. Put automatically obtain ip for ur laptop.

I will try these things and get back to you. Thanks

ok fine. I am using this setting and it works fine.
else u always have option to use reliance modem+ linksys wifi together.

Oh. i dint know we can use both of them. but its too much info for me right now. Let me try to configure Linksys first, if i am not able to do it, perhaps u can help me set up both.

I configured the Modem as u mentioned and found the 'Obtian IP automatically' option. Waiting for the 10 minute window now as u said i should.

Secondly, I dont think i can configure both the reliance and linksys, as its a modem and not a router.

Anyway, hopefully, the things will work now. I have attached two screen shots, if u could just check them out and tell me if I have done something wrong.

Thanks Again, Def a +1 Rep.

try with this config.
In encapsulation you have selected rfc-- bridged is there any option of rfc..routing? where obtain ip address automatically option comes?If it is present then select it.
Restart the modem and wait for some time. First time it takes some time to obtain ip.

You can use both modem and linksys modem.
Reliance modem will work as modem while the linksys device will work as only router not modem.

is there any option of rfc..routing? where obtain ip address automatically option comes?If it is present then select it.

No, it does not give me obtain IP automatically option.

Hey !

I am not able to connect to the internet with those settings. The 'internet' indicator turns RED and stays that way, when it should be 'yellow'.

Any ideas ?

can you send me the screen shot of the main page and dsl page. where it shows the ip address details?

For the first time when you switch on the modem it takes some time in getting the ip around 5-10 mins. but in your case its not getting the ip.

Can you access the login page of your reliance modem at 192.168.1.1?
and can you change settings there?

@abhikaushikin

I cant access the reliance modem homepage. I think i have a static IP 123.238.19.107 (screenshot attached). May be if i try rfc-routed option with these settings (the ones in screenshot, which my laptop detects), I might be able to make it work. Just a thought, your comments on it ..

@essbebe

Step 1.
Select 831 from this link and enter your ID/PW in modem,
New Page 4

What do u want me to do there ? In any case, 192.168.1.1 takes me nowhere.

And the 'New Page 4' link takes me to the list of modems for BSNL connection and the configuration steps are all for the BSNL network and mine is Reliance.

You switch off ur wifi. give ip 192.168.1.10 in your local area connection. now connect your laptop with the wire to the reliance modem. and try opening the address 192.168.1.1.

see the concept is that you have to configure your reliance modem once that is configured then the wire coming from reliance modem you have to insert in linksys device.

In linksys device Network connection( LAN) you have to remove DHCP server and put DHCP relay. Things will start working.
For configuring the reliance modem refer to my previous post.
keep me informed about the status.

My reliance modem has just two ports:
1. DSL (line in)
2. Ethernet ( 1 port , line out)

So there is no way i can insert my linksys in the modem-laptop line.

As i said earlier, my linksys is a wireless modem , not a wireless router ( which is used in cable connections, and which has a LAN cable incoming port)

Regarding accessing my reliance modem page at 192.168.1.1, its not happening. It just says cant open the page or page not found.

I do not understand, whats the diference between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.10 addresses. Even when i try to set up the linksys, i have to go to 192.168.1.10 and then give admin as both username and passowrd.

Frankly speaking, i was able to follow what was being told to me earlier, but now its getting slightly confusing. If any one can tell me to start all over and tell me what should i connect first and what next. If i connect linsys to try out anything, i lose out my internet connection and then i have to save everything, take screenshots etc and reconnect through reliance modem to get back to the forum.

Thread start (104 /) 106 to 124
@abhishek1108
For any ISP critical Info is VPI/VCI 0 35
( same for BSNL and Reliance for L/L + splitter+adsl modem/router/ etc)

My reliance modem has just two ports:
1. DSL (line in)(*Rj11 telephone connector)
2. Ethernet ( 1 port , line out(*RJ45 cable to
computer ethernet port or Linksys's WA200G LAN1) )

Para two :
1.ZTE modem 831 ( i am using it now) ) is set and connected to Internet in "Always ON " mode
( Reliance UserID/PW entered in wan page of modem. DHCP enabled )
Confirm connection is OK
2.
IF Linksy's WAG200 is adslmodem+Lanports+WIFI
connect Rj11 to this unit and use the wizard. ( Installation CD)
If not transfer RJ45 from computer end and connect to either Internet port or LAN1 of Linksy's.
Para Three:

Give Ipconfig /all data for computer connected in LAN mode and laptop

Para four;
When you are connected to Internet
Check here again > ( for confirmation )
http://checkip.dyndns.com/
say Gateway to Reliance ; 123.238.19.107
or
routers IP
say 123.238.xx.xx ( or 123.238.18.1 if same )
Type either IP address in Browser.
Modem access page may open.
ID/PW usually admin admin.

Checking details about WAG200G. ........
